News for Food Lovers

Tuesday, September 10, 7 p.m. at the Cornwall Navy Club, 30 Sixth Street East. A talk by Karen Carriere at the Cornwall & District Horticultural Society. If we want to grow some of our own produce, what’s worth the time and effort? Which vegetables and fruits are the most nutrient dense? Which are the easiest to grow in this region? What’s pretty enough to use as edible landscaping? Worried about pesticide residues on conventional produce, but can’t afford organic? If you grow, or are thinking of growing some food, this talk will be of interest. Bill and Karen Carriere grow hundreds of different fruit and vegetable varieties at their homestead near Newington.
